When you say you tried to update the driver, you mean you tried to install the latest update available on the Hercules support site (2009.HDJS.3):http://ts.hercules.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=2&fid=28&pid=215&cid=1

What is the precise message you are getting AND at what point during the installation process?

ok the install had completed and i reset the system i get this message:the hercules dj series driver found on your system is older than expected.
please reinstall the hercules driver package.
but i have the latest drivers.

OK. What happens is that somes files from a previous installation are not being overwritten as they should. Proceed as follow:
- Uninstall the DJ driver and unplug the console
- Go to
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\
and delete the following files:
hdjbulk.sys
hdjasiok.sys
hdjmidi.sys
- Launch the driver installer again. You should now be able to install your console normally.

ok mate, tried that only had one of the files u put that needed deleting. So done as said now the message has stopped, but still not working, when i got to the RMX and look at the properties i see this message now:Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
any ideas?

Maybe....Try turning off "User Account Control", under users menu in control panel. Also turn off windows firewall or yours (you'll find it also in the control panel). Restart PC. Download the last Hercules drivers, and when it's finished, right-click on the installer and select "run as administrator" on the context menu.
Hope this helps.....

Make sure your USB cable is in good working order. I experienced this once, turned out to be a gimpy cable.

http://ts.hercules.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=2&fid=28&pid=215&cid=1New drivers as of 12th November. Have you tried this?
Posted Wed 18 Nov 09 @ 12:08 pm
DJ Phatso
The problem of "older driver ..." usually occurs because a previous driver were installed using another console model, and you are now trying to install the new driver using another console (in this case an Rmx), and some file of the previous installation are not being updated corectly.The solutions:
1) Install the driver using the previous DJ Console (if possible) or simply connecting both consoles.
2) Go to C:/Windows/System32/drivers folder and delete the following files:
- hdjbulk.sys
- hdjasiok.sys
- hdjmidi.sys
Once done, launch the new driver installation again.

SUCCESS!!Thanks Phatso and matty for your replies. I did download the latest driver and was previously using the same RMX.
So russi and jcmighty this should work for you guys too:
So as I was saying, I was getting stuck on the manual firmware stage of this http://ts.hercules.com/faqs/eng/her_eng_00384.pdf like you russi.
So I got on to Hercules tech support, and they told me to follow the same procedure, BUT do it on another computer that has a previous operating system (Vista/XP). It turns out that this firmware manual function isn't available on Win 7. So do all that on the other computer, and then install the driver as normal on your Win 7 laptop and it should be all good. If not, follow the procedure on the Win 7 laptop also.
Just so you know, the Hercules drivers on my laptop driver are located in Device Manager - Sound, video ... / Hercules DJ Console RMX, Hercules DJ Console RMX and Hercules DJ Console RMX.
Of course, now I can't hear anything in my headphones, even though they are selected in Config - Sound setup, but at least the problems are getting smaller :/
